repost from a repost: like I said in the other post, rangers could have been up 4-0. After being up 2-0 they missed some open net chances that could have made it 4-0. The first half of the game it was mostly rangers but as the game went on the kings got better even though some of the penalties called against the rangers were borderline which help the kings and I thought the Kings got away with interference and I mean literally tackling a ranger player yet no penalty called. I’m use to it now and expect it. The refereeing in the nhl is terrible.

Oh boy, figures this crew is all over Nash again. Hey, maybe for a change of pace let’s take a look at Staal, who’s been flat out bad more games than not this playoffs, and was horrible tonight. If he didn’t have the wingspan of a pterodactyl he’d be a bad defenseman, because about everything he accomplishes is with his huge reach. He’s good on the boards and around the net but a huge liability in motion. I think he’s still spinning now three hours later.

Also, Jeff Beukeboom had a better offensive game than Staal does, and I’m not even exaggerating. Watching him try to do things in the offensive zone is like watching a young child try to make themselves a bowl of cereal. It’s kind of funny and sad in its utter futility.

just watched the game. did not see live after the first 10 minutes. when I heard the 3rd period shots I was concerned they were totally dominated. That was not the way I saw the game. I thought thru 2 Rangers had better opptys.. Defered to many shots, nash needs to ge the puck on net etc.

3rd period they were outplayed but kings had very few good opptys.

ot goal was a train wreck. if the rangers play there style and do not try to hit with the kings and be more physical then they are capable of they should be fine. st Louis, Richards, nash multiple times and others had good opptys. first goal against was a stepan mistake..
